Our Motivation

Improving community health is a key element in promoting sustainable forms of development. Understanding geographic patterns, including the arrangement of health services and natural of environmental threats, is crucial to assessing the inherently interrelated risks to public health.

GeoAdaptive’s Public Health practice area provides analytical insights to improve the health of the community by identifying the geographical element, “where”. Public health problems are spatially dependent and GeoAdaptive identifies interventions by considering:

Where are people exposed to greater health risks from the natural and built environment?

Where are areas with disproportionately lower access to medical services?

What are the correlations between environmental factors and human health behaviors at global, national, regional and local level?

Improve data integrity by incorporating multi-sectoral databases with global, regional, and local data

Apply qualitative and quantitative analysis to answer client’s research questions

Calculate spatial statistics to provide clients with reliable health indicators for decision making

Align health policies with social investing to maximize benefits to public health + human capital

Our Services

We support location-specific analyses that provide a powerful mechanism for clients to understand urban and rural health issues by conveying information and synthesizing data from multiple sources, but for leading to new and precise approach for interpreting urban and rural regions.

The necessity to create long-lasting objectives addressing inequality is emphasized throughout the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This implies that income growth is not the only important measure for this goal. The roles of infrastructure, wage, social protection policies, and opportunities are noted as key contributors to this goal of increased equality. By measuring and quantifying inequality in GeoAdaptive, we understand how well programs or policies promote social justice and how these strategies might be supported by accessibility to infrastructure to reduce inequality and improve social development.
